Here’s the lie: “As you get older and more mature, you will get better at being a Christian.”

Maybe it’s not a lie for everyone… but it is for me. I fully believed this lie for years and years. Logically speaking, maturity should lead to greater stability, stronger commitments, unmoving consistency, and mind-boggling spirituality. Maybe it does for some people… but it doesn’t for me.

I’m accepting the reality of my story.

As I mature, I am realizing how incapable I am of stability, commitment, consistency and spirituality.

Suddenly, it’s bad to be evangelical. Suddenly, everyone is talking about being a recovering fundamental. Suddenly, a bunch of Christians are bouncing along on one of the dumbest bandwagons to hit Christianity.

I actually woke up, having remembered a dream this morning. It was a short dream about the 144,000 in Revelation. I was looking in on a brief conversation with Jesus and some random person. It was just a bit of dialogue, and I’m going to share it on this blog… but of course I have to throw out a disclaimer about this not being biblical or doctrine or whatever. It was just a dream- but I found it quite interesting:

Jesus:

“I’m Jesus. I’m here to tell you that you are a descendant of the Hebrew tribe of Joseph. I’m inviting you to give your life to me and serve Me, and I’ll put a seal on your head and protect you from the horrible events which are coming upon this earth.”
